Having snow and ice and mud and sand cake up so much on your seat tube that it rubs on your rear tire makes it really hard to pedal! And once I stopped and hung the bike up on my little cleaning stand, the whole drivetrain froze solid almost instantly. I have to go out and check and see if my little fan heater aimed at the crankset has removed the ice from the granny gear - I couldn't even see that it was there, and couldn't reach it to chip the ice off.
At least I was outside, though. The big bright thing was out in the sky again.

You have got to be kidding me!!  Good for you for at least getting a ride in. I don't think I could muster that much motivation unless I made some weird mission out of it. Now I know I a wimp when I sometimes wait for the road to dry.  |

Even that is a little more dedication than I've got. Of course all I have is a road bike.  I have a friend that is trying to get me to go fixed for the winter. maybe next year. |
